They may be called the
Littlefoots, but the South
Coast League Rookies team
stomped their opponents at
last weekend’s Roseburg
Tournament, going unde-
feated en route to the tour-
nament title.
“Our defense played phe-
nomenal, turning several
double plays,” said coach
Rich DeSantis.
That offensive firepower
included a first-to-home
double play in a relay throw
from first baseman Torelan
DeSantis to Carter Gray
behind the plate.
The Littlefoots also had
solid defensive efforts from
Lucca Flossi at shortstop,
Michael Fitzsimmons at
third base, Trendel DeSantis
at second base and outfield-
ing from Judah henry and
Cam Lyda.
The team emerged as the
top seed from Saturday’s
pool play and into Sunday’s
bracket play, where they
opened with a 15-5 romp
over Umpqua Valley that
ended in four innings due to
the mercy rule.
The Littlefoots went on to
defeat Coos Bay in the
semi-finals game, 15-13,
before edging out North
Bend 8-7 in the champion-
ships — forgoing their last at
bats in both games.
All told, the team of 7- to
9-year-olds outscored their
opponents 71-36 for the
weekend and secured an
on-base percentage of .705.
Offensively, TJ Persons
led the team, getting aboard
11 out of 11 times, followed
by Flossi, who went 11-for-
12.
At the plate, Nate Selig
knocked in 3 homeruns for
the Littlefoots in the tourna-
ment.
The Littlefoots, now 20-2
on the season, will take this
weekend off before return-
ing to the baseball diamond
July 6-7 in Newport, then
wrap up the season in
Lincoln City July 13-14.

More than 100 golfers teed off at Ocean Dunes Golf Links during last weekend’s
Kiwanis 2019 Golf Tournament, a charity fundraiser benefiting the Kiwanis
Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program (KDCCP) and youth services throughout the
Florence and Mapleton areas. Look for a wrap-up of results and final totals from the
fundraiser in this Saturday’s edition. For team photos, visit Melissa Ann House at

South coast residents are
invited to a special walk along
the ocean in Yachats to hike
to the Amanda Trail statue on
Tuesday, July 2. This walk has
great views, easy walking and
a bit of forest for those who
choose the longer walk.
Walk a little, a lot or the
whole 6 miles. The distance
and speed of walking is tai-
lored to those at the walk that
day. Walking sticks and stur-
dy shoes are recommended.
Walkers should wear layered
clothing. All walkers are wel-
come, rain or sunshine. These
walks have varied walking sur-
faces and a few short hills.
The first 1.5 miles is out
along and returns on the 804
Trail in south Yachats. The
3-mile walk does not hike up
any hills and does not go to the
Amanda Statue. The longer
route continues and climbs up
the Pacific Coast Trail to the
Amanda Statue.
Dogs are welcome but must
be on a six-foot, non-extend-
able lead to walk with the
group and owners must carry
and use appropriate cleanup
materials.
RSVPs are appreciated. For
more informaton or to RSVP,
call or texting Maryann at 541-
961-4279, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or
email her at yachatscoastal
gems@gmail.com.
The group will meet inside
the front corner of the Over-
leaf Lodge lobby, 280 Overleaf
Lodge Lane in Yachats, at 9:45
a.m. for registration.

MID-COAST LAKES:
Stocking of mid-coast lakes
stopped in early June, but
fishing for warmwater species
can still be good in several
area lakes, including Ollala
Reservoir, Mercer Lake,
Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch
Lake.
SIUSLAW RIVER: Fall
Chinook, winter steelhead
Winter steelhead fishing
opened on Dec. 1 and fish will
start entering the Siuslaw sys-
tem throughout the month of
December.
No good reports yet but
things should be changing
this week with warmer weath-
er and rain in the forecast.
Hatchery fish in the Siuslaw
system return to Whitaker
Creek (Siuslaw) and Green
Creek (Lake Creek).
Fishing should start to pick
up soon with each rise in the
river levels. Bobber fishing
with bait/jigs, drift fishing,
and casting lures are good
techniques to catch a Siuslaw
winter steelhead.
Steelhead fishing remains
open in the closed Chinook
areas of the Siuslaw and Lake
Creek.
Due to lower than expected
returns and conservation con-
cerns, fall Chinook fishing on
the Siuslaw remains closed
upstream of the Tiernan boat
ramp (downstream of
Mapleton).
Below the deadline the bag
limit for fall Chinook is
reduced to one adult Chinook
per day and a limit of 3
through the remainder of the
season.
Chinook fishing continues
